Scientific software projects evolve rapidly in their initial development phase, yet at the end of a funding period, the completion of a research project, thesis, or publication, further engagement in the project may slow down or cease completely. To retain the invested effort for the sciences, this software needs to be preserved or handed over to a succeeding developer or team, such as the next generation of (PhD) students. Comparable guides provide top-down recommendations for project leads. This paper intends to be a bottom-up approach for sustainable hand-over processes from a developer's perspective. An important characteristic in this regard is the project's size, by which this guideline is structured. Furthermore, checklists are provided, which can serve as a practical guide for implementing the proposed measures.

可持续研究软件移交

科学软件项目在其初始开发阶段发展迅速，但在资助期结束时，完成研究项目、论文或出版物，进一步参与项目可能会减慢或完全停止。为了保留对科学的投入，该软件需要保留或移交给成功的开发人员或团队，例如下一代（博士）学生。可比指南为项目负责人提供自上而下的建议。本文旨在从开发人员的角度为可持续的移交流程提供一种自下而上的方法。在这方面的一个重要特征是项目的规模，本指南的结构正是以此为依据。此外，还提供了清单，可作为实施建议措施的实用指南。
